Baan Itsara Restaurant is a 2-story wooden house located nearby Hua Hin beach. There are tables and chairs indoor as well as outdoor. Seats outdoor have a good view of the sea but the breeze is quite strong which many find annoying while eating.
The first recommended dish you’ll want to order at Baan Itsara Restaurant is the Stir-fried Scallops in Sweet Basil Sauce. This dish is served on a hot plate and may not seem appealing, but one taste will change your mind. If you are not a fan of (or allergic to) shellfish, you can replace the scallops with something else. Next dish is the Boiled Sweet Squid Yum (Thai salad). Squeeze some lemon to this dish to make it taste even better.
One very difficult dish to find in Hua Hin is the Grilled Mackeral in Raw Fish Sauce. The Mackerel are wrapped and grilled in banana leaves, and then fish sauce is poured over it. Lastrecommended dish is the Tom Yum Buay Nua Pla Kao – Grouper Fish in Plum Tom Yum. End your meal with Look Tarn Loy Kaew – Toddy in Sweet Syrup. This cold Thai dessert will leave you refreshed.
